Entrepreneurship is once again fashionable with policymakers, business schools, large corporations and the media. But in the light of the dot-com crash, many wonder whether it can provide the much needed spark to re-ignite growth. What exactly is the link between rates of new business formation and the wider performance of an economy? Can large corporations replicate the conditions in which small companies successfully innovate and expand, or alternatively manage their own ‘intrapreneurs’? Does large business have a social obligation to support entrepreneurs? Is Europe destined to lag behind the United States? How can more women be encouraged to start their own enterprises? These and other questions are addressed in this edition of EBF.
Editor’s Note: as with most of the EBF debates, the articles are a mixture of quality. For my money, the most significant reads are the articles by Roy Thurik, Andrew Campbell, Robert Burgelman, Chris West, and Emmanuel Peltier.
This EBF debate was re-opened in the subsequent issue with three excellent follow-up articles by Andrew Campbell, Robert Burgelman and Rosabeth Moss Kanter. Find them at:
